Ghosts of Dead Lovers.

Upon my hearth pictured boy
Don Cupid-strikes mandolin;
Sometimes think he sings the Joy
OF loves that are or that have been
The joy of perfect days in june
OF orange flower and honeymoon.
Sometimes while in revery dream
And weave love verses light as air,
My Marian's graces for my theme
Her gentle face her flowing hair
| hear the minor notes of woe
OF lovers dead so long ago.
The queen who all her conquered power
Regained through Loves unguarded gate;
Francesca whom single hour
Gave binding love and mortal hate;
That one by whom Troy's temples fell
And signing Heloise in her cell;
The maid who sire and country sold
To win the scorn of Peleus' son;
Queen Dido dead amid her gold
And Gretchen by false VOWS undone-
The piping of young Cupid's song
Leads up from hell the shadowy throng.
Like morning mists they float. they flow,
Their writing arms in anguish tossed,
These lovers of the long ago
Through guilty love forever lost
A dream of horror haunts their eyes,
Mute Slippliants of the silent skies.
VI.
Though Cupid sing of summer cheer
Above the merry mandolin
Above the clear young voice hear
The ghostly wall of voices thin
The minor cadence of the wee
OF lovers dead so long ago.

The Whitaker Street Paving.

The work of paving Whitaker street is
progressing quite satisfactorily, and the
prospect is that within month or so it will
be completed to Henry street. The only
obstruction to it is the switch at Bolton
street. The street railroad company has
been ready for some time to remove the
switch but it is prevented from doing so by
the Sanitary Commission, or some one act
ing under its authority. There does not APP
pear to be any good reason why the switch
should not be removed. 1t is hardly proba-
bic that the public health would suffer from
its removal. II is composed of a few bars
of iron and hundred or so of cross-ties,
and in taking them up the ground would be
but slightly disturbed. Tho paving of
Whitaker street should not be interrupted
without excellent reasons, and it doesn't APP
pear that the switch in question affords good
reasons.
Mr.. Morris Friedman, of the Third inter

Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun, enjoys the distinction Of being the
only Republican internal revenue collector
left in Office in the whole United States. The
force under him is almost exclusively COM
posed of Democrats. IL would seem that
Mr.. Friedman would feel so lonesome that
he would resign without further delay.

The call for the Democratic Ju-
dicial Convention appears above.
A law was enacted last session tax
ing Montgomery out of this sub
division, and placing, her in the
combination of counties as these
subdivisions were originally es-
tablished under our present organ
ic law; yet her Democrats join in
the call. The reason for the anon
ally is explained in the fact that
Montgomery Democrats purpose to
test in the Courts the constitution
atty of the transfer, as the act re-
ceived but a majority vote, whereas
it is claimed that aStwo-thirds vote
is necessary. But until the Courts
decide the law unconstitutional it
is in full force and effect. The
Democrats seek to preserve their
standpoint in the proposed con-
test through formal non-recogni-
ton of the law by participation in
the convention and votingt the tick

that if there should be several can

Senator Sherman addressed the
Illinois Legislature yesterday. He
no longer sings the same tune with
which he charmed the people OF
the South. He yesterday unfolded
the bloody shirt, and waved it for
all it was worth. His idea of dis
loyalty is now embodied in the fact
of being opposed to a high tariff,
and he insists that such opposition
is a Confederate idea" wickedly
put forth to tear the nation into
pieces.

We reproducein another column
from the Greenville Democrat, an
article onthe Common Pleas Judge
ship of this Judicial District. The
convention to nominate a candi-
date for the place will meetin Eaton
onsthe 4th.o of August. We do not
know whether the Democrat speaks
from "the book" about there being
but one candidate or not. The
District townships" are not all
heard from yet, and if Judge Safer
is not an aspirant for a Second
term" we know of several members
of the Bar who would cheerfully

D E-
The idea that stopping needless
taxes, and diverting into the chan
nels of business a large amount Of
money that is now being locked up
in the Treasury, will injure bust
ness, borders on idiocy. Taxation
beyond the point where it is need
ed for public uses promotes pros
iperity just as a frost helps the
growth of corn. And what place
is as good for a dollar, or for $780,
100000, from a business point of
view, as in the pockets of the peo-
pie who earn the money!

John Sherman, in his endeavol
tocatch the Republican vote for the
Republican nomination, is now en-.
gagged in wildly waving the bloody
shirt, and endeayoring to create
new points of difference between
the North and South. And yet we
doubt if any considerable part Of
the Republican party, whether they
be business men or Grand Army
men, or any other kind of men,
save the pure and simple politi-
clans, would care to revive the SEN
timents which made the South and
Northtwo distinct people in hopes,
desires and interests. The bust
ness interests of the two sections
of the country have blended into
one prosperous whole the ancient
animosities of the war have been
converted into a mutual pride for
each others courage, endurance
and manliness, and each passing
month forms some new element of
a common country witha common
hope and a mutual purpose. What
honest or patriotic man would seek
to disturb this condition of affairs
in order to further his political
condition? John Sherman does it,
but in doing it he shows the des-
perateness of his situation and for
bids imitators.

It is always better to judge par
ties by their performances rather
than by their proclamations. The
Republican party has always claim.
ed, in season and out of season, to
be the single, steadfast and devoted
friend of the soldier man. The rec
ords of the Pension Office do not
appear to bear out this claim. I'm

while the Pension Office is carried
on at reduced expense, its opera
tions have almost doubled in eff,

to America will be the largest ever
recorded in the history of Ireland.
In the south of the island, over
wide areas, the entire able-bodied
population is either leaving or pre-
pairing to leave. The emigrants
are camped out in the streets of
Queenstown awaiting ships. The
total emigration from that port to
America for April was 1900

of a northern Kansas town, who
was elected under the new woman
suffrage law last week, came down
to her Office the other day with a
Mother Hubbard on, and as she sat
cross-legged in the Mayors chair
the city clerk noticed that she had
a hole in the heel of her stocking
and that her hustle was to one side.
He reported the fact to his wife,
hiswife told the hired girl, the hired
girl told her fellow, her fellow told
the city marshal, the city marshal
told the Mayoress, whereupon the
city clerk got Hrod and the town. is
scandalized. The Mayoress said
she would wear her hustle in front,
behind or sideways, and it was no.
body's business. It is needless to
say that the fair Mayoress is red
headed.

The old feeling of sectional hate
between the North and South has
no longer any place in the minds
of the,great. mass Of inhabitants Of
our common country. And as the
years go by and the people of all

with each other through that inter.

union will become stronger and
more compact. The United States
will never again have a sectional
